Well, He Did Walk Away

Police in Redlands (CA) say it may have been a case of mistaken
identity, after a plane crash at the Redlands airport last
week.

Police said the pilot tried to land at Redlands
Municipal Airport shortly after 4:30 p.m. (PST) Thursday when,
instead of touching down on one of the airport's paved paralell
runways, his plane landed on a gravelled part of the airport and
traveled for several hundred feet before its nosegear hit a
ditch.

According to police reports, the pilot told officers that the
newly gravelled area between the runways looked like part of the
runway and he made a complaint about it.

Police said there were no injuries, but the aircraft (type
unknown) was seriously damaged.
